Impact of land management on herbaceous vegetation diversity and forage provision in the Great Green Wall in Burkina Faso

Grassland Research
Background In West African semi‐arid areas, grazing ecosystems are exposed to severe anthropogenic and climatic pressures. However, little is known about the contribution of local land management practices to increasing herbaceous forage in semi‐arid ...

Multifunctional Organic and Inorganic Composite Coating for Outdoor Droplet Energy Collection and Water Quality Monitoring

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
The difluoropyridine‐based benzoxazine (BA‐fa) was synthesized through a Mannich reaction, and a MoO3‐doped PBA‐fa complex layered DEG was fabricated using an ultrasonic spray coating method, which can not only generate electricity in rainy days but also effectively prevent fires on building roofs, self‐cleaning the surface of buildings on rainy days ...

Impact of the CAP reform on small-scale grassland regions [PDF]

This paper presents a regional land-use model that conceives farms as independent agents aiming at maximum individual utility. Farm agents optimize their utility with the help of a linear-programming algorithm that takes into account natural, economic ...

Environmental impacts of grazed pastures [PDF]

, 2010
Large nitrogen (N) surplus and return of excreta-N in localised patches at high N rates in intensively grazed pasture systems markedly increases the risk of N losses to waterways and the atmosphere. Here are described the main routes of N input to grazed

Highly Efficient and Salt‐Tolerant Broom‐like Bamboo Solar Evaporator: Constructing Multiscale Open Gaps to Enhance Water Transportation and Vapor Diffusion

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A bamboo fiber aggregation‐based broom‐like evaporator with open interstitial spaces for water transport and vapor diffusion was designed that provided extensive air–liquid interfaces for facilitating fast vapor diffusion and avoiding the formation of high‐humidity zones.

Selection of meadow fescue for persistence under frequent defoliation

Grassland Research
Background Meadow fescue (Schedonorus pratensis (Huds.) P. Beauv.) is a reemerging pasture grass for temperate regions of North America. One disadvantage of this species is its lack of tolerance to frequent defoliation at low residual sward heights. This
